Start TomTom Navigation app for iPhone/iPad
TomTom
Tap this button on your iPhone, iPod, iPad or iPad mini to start the
TomTom app.
When the TomTom app supports the same language you selected for
your iOS device, the language used for buttons and menus in the app is
the same as the language on your iOS device. If the TomTom app does
not support the language you selected for your iOS device, then English
is used in the app.
If a route is already planned, the Driving View is shown and navigation
starts immediately. If no route is planned the Main menu is shown.
The TomTom app works in the same way on the iPhone, the iPod touch, the iPad and the iPad
mini. The iPad and the iPad mini have larger screens which means that menus appear over the
Driving View instead of as full-screen menus.
Starting for the first time
When you start the TomTom app for the first time or after a reset, you will see the following
screens:
Legal Notice - You must read and agree to the Legal Notice before you can use the app.
Voice Download - If your TomTom App supports Advanced voices in your language you are
given the option to download an Advanced voice.
Your Information - When you use a TomTom LIVE service such as HD Traffic or Local search,
we ask you to send information about you and your iOS device to TomTom. The first time you
use a LIVE service please read the details about how each service uses your information. Tap
Yes to allow your information to be sent. If you don't agree to send your information the ser-
vice will not work.
When you start your TomTom app for the first time you will also see information about the app's
new features.
If the TomTom app cannot find your location, check that Location Services are enabled for the app
in your iOS Privacy settings.
Updating your TomTom Navigation app for iPhone/iPad
If you have an old version of TomTom app on your iOS device, you must update to the latest ver-
sion of TomTom app before continuing to read this guide.
To download and update your iOS device with the latest version of TomTom app, go to the iOS
App Store.
Getting Started

GPS reception
The iPod touch, the iPad (WiFi only models), and the original iPhone do not include a GPS receiv-
er. To use these devices for navigation, you need to connect them to a GPS accessory device.
Note: Using a GPS accessory device can also improve the accuracy of GPS in other iPhone
models.
When you first start the TomTom app, it may need a few minutes to find your GPS position and
show your current location on the map.
To make sure you have good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large objects
such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
Important: The TomTom app cannot give you route instructions until it has GPS reception. Make
sure Location Services are switched on.
If your device has no GPS reception, the TomTom app uses positioning information from WiFi
networks or mobile phone towers. This information is used for route planning and to determine
your approximate location.
Location Services
Location Services on your iOS device allow the TomTom app to use cellular, Wi-Fi and Global
Positioning System (GPS) networks to determine your location. If Location Services are turned off,
the TomTom app will not be able to determine your location or guide you to your destination.
If Locations Services are turned off you see the message Turn On Location Services to Allow
TomTom app To Determine Your Location.
To turn Location Services on, do the following:
1. Tap Settings in the Locations Services message to open the Apple Location Services screen.
2. Tap Location Services to switch it ON.
3. A list of apps which use Location Services is shown. Tap TomTom app to turn it ON so it can
use Location Services.

Planning a route
Important: In the interest of safety and to reduce distractions while you are driving, you should
always plan a route before you start driving.
To plan a route with the TomTom app, do the following:
1. Tap the screen to open the Main menu.
2. Tap Navigate To....
3. Tap Address.
Tip: You can change the country, state or region by tapping the flag before you select a city.
4. Start to type the name of the town you want to go to.
As you type, the names of the towns that match what you have typed are shown. When your
destination appears in the list, tap the name of the town to set the destination.
Tip: You can also type in the postal code of your destination. First select the country, then
select the postcode from the list shown to display a list of streets in that postcode.
5. Start to type the name of the street.
Just as for place names, the names of the streets that match what you have typed are shown.
When your destination appears in the list, tap the name of the street to set the destination.
Tip: The keyboard automatically hides when you scroll the search results. This allows you to
see more results on the screen.
6. Enter the house number and then tap Select.
You can also select the point where two streets meet by tapping Crossing.
The route is calculated.
Tip: If the message Waiting for a GPS signal... stays on the screen, make sure Location Ser-
vices are on.
By default, the fastest route is planned. You can change the type of route used for planning.
If IQ Routes is available on your map, this information is used to plan the best possible route
for vehicles, taking into account the real average speeds measured on the roads.
7. When the new route is shown, tap Done.
Planning a Route

10
The TomTom app starts to guide you to your destination using spoken instructions and
on-screen directions.
Route summary
After you plan a route, a summary of the route is shown.
The route summary shows an overview of your route on the map and the estimated travel time
including delays caused by busy roads. If you have a TomTom HD Traffic subscription, the esti-
mated travel time includes delays due to traffic incidents on your route.
The bottom of the summary screen shows the following options:
Tap +1 to add a Travel Via stop.
Tap Options to change or view your route.
Tap Done or any part of the screen above the buttons to start route guidance.
You can view the route summary at any time by tapping the right-hand side of the status bar at the
bottom of the Driving View.
Sharing your route
After planning a route, you can share a summary of your route with friends and contacts.
Other destination options
When you tap Navigate To in the Main menu, you can select your destination in the following
ways:
